  • the fluorescent particles of this invention can be divided roughly into two types, namely a mixture type prepared by granulating a mixture containing all particle constituent components such as the powdery material and the fluorescent dyestuff and/or the fluorescent pigment, and a core-shell type prepared by coating the outside of granules containing the powdery material with a coating layer containing the fluorescent dyestuff and/or the fluorescent pigment.
  • the particles of the mixture type are advantageous for simple production, but from the viewpoint of fluorescence emission, the fluorescent dyestuff and fluorescent pigment present near the surface of the granules emit fluorescence, but those present in the inside of the particles tend to hardly emit fluorescence.
  • the fluorescent dyestuff and fluorescent pigment are present in only the coating layer outside the core granules, and thus all of them will contribute to fluorescence emission. Accordingly, if the same amount of a fluorescent dyestuff or fluorescent pigment is used, the particles of the core-shell type are advantageous over the particles of the mixture type in the respect that a higher intensity of fluorescence emission can be achieved.
  • the anti-falsification paper of this invention is characterized by permitting the above-described fluorescent particles to be contained in paper, or by coating the surface of paper with a coating solution containing the above-described fluorescent particles.
  • the fluorescent particles cannot be visually recognized or is hardly visually recognized under normal light (usual light such as natural light, light from an incandescent lamp and light from a fluorescent lamp), but upon irradiation with ultraviolet rays, the particles emit fluorescence, thus making it possible to judge whether the paper is an original or an imitation.
  • FIG. 1 is an electron micrograph of spherical granular starch before formation of a kaolin coating layer in Example 6 of this invention.
  • FIG. 2 is an electron micrograph of fluorescent particles obtained in Example 6 of this invention.
  • the powdery material used in the present invention is typically starch.
  • the starch includes natural starch such as potato starch, corn starch, sweet potato starch, tapioca starch, sago starch, rice starch, amaranth starch, taro starch and Vaccaria pyramidata Medik starch, as well as processed starch thereof (dextrin, acid-decomposed starch, oxidized starch, alpha starch, etherized, esterified or cross-linked starch derivatives, grafted starch and wet-heated starch etc.).
  • grain flour such as wheat flour, rice flour and corn flour
  • water-insoluble powdery cellulose such as powdery cellulose, bacteria cellulose, fine fibrous cellulose and crystalline cellulose
  • wood meal such as cellulose derivatives such as carboxymethyl cellulose, methyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, hydroxyethylmethyl cellulose, hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose and quaternary cationic hydroxyethyl cellulose

  • powdery inorganic materials can also be used as the powdery material.
  • the powdery inorganic materials include those known fillers, such as titanium dioxide, silicates (kaolin, clay, bentonite, talc, synthetic aluminum silicate, synthetic calcium silicate etc.), silicic acid (diatomaceous earth, silica powder, hydrous fine silicic acid powder and anhydrous fine silicic acid powder), calcium carbonate, zinc oxide, magnesium carbonate, calcium.magnesium carbonate, aluminum hydroxide, barium sulfate, calcium sulfate, calcium sulfite, iron oxide etc.
  • powdery materials having hydroxyl groups such as starch, grain flour, cellulose, other polysaccharides, sugar and polyvinyl alcohol
  • their use in combination with resin binders having reactive groups reacting with the hydroxyl groups is effective for conferring water resistance on the fluorescent particles, and further even if they are coated together with the fluorescent dyestuff and/or pigment, the intensity of fluorescence is not lowered and thus they can also act as extender fillers for the expensive dyestuff and/or pigment.
  • the resin binder can also be added to the coating solution at the time of coating.

  • a white pigment may be used in combination with the powdery material such as starch.
  • the white pigment By use of the white pigment, the presence of the fluorescent particles in paper is hardly visually recognized under normal light, and the beauty of the printing etc. is not deteriorated, and further it becomes difficult to judge whether means of preventing falsification is taken, and thus the effect of preventing falsification can be further improved.
  • white pigments those having high degrees of whiteness among the above-described powdery inorganic materials, for example, titanium dioxide, kaolin, clay, talc, calcium carbonate, zinc chloride, zinc sulfide, zinc oxide, magnesium carbonate, calcium.magnesium carbonate, aluminum hydroxide, barium sulfate etc. can be used. In the present invention, these white pigments can be used alone or in combination thereof.
  • those having a large refractive index that is, those having a refractive index of 2.0 or more can be used to demonstrate a significant effect of preventing the above-described fluorescent particles from becoming transparent in paper.

  • the fluorescent agents (fluorescent dyestuff and fluorescent pigment) used in the present invention is described herein below.
  • the fluorescent agents used in the present invention should be water-insoluble. This is because if the fluorescent agents are water-soluble, they are eluted from the fluorescent particles added to pulp slurry during production of anti-falsification paper, thus failing to achieve the object of this invention, as described below in detail.
  • water-insoluble used in the present invention does not mean the properties of the fluorescent agent itself, but means that the fluorescent agent is not eluted into water after production of particles of the fluorescent agent. That is, fluorescent agents which are water-soluble fluorescent dyestuffs such as spirofuran-based fluorescent dyestuffs but are rendered water-insoluble by reacting with a water resistance-imparting agent used in production of particles of the fluorescent agent, by reacting with a binder, or by being fixed onto the fluorescent particles by virtue of the effect of aluminum sulfate etc. added to pulp slurry during production of anti-falsification paper shall fall under the scope of the water-insoluble fluorescent dyestuffs or fluorescent pigments used in the present invention.
  • the fluorescent dyestuffs fluorescing upon irradiation with ultraviolet rays
  • fluorescent dyestuffs known in the art, such as fluorescein or those based on coumarin, oxazole, pyrazoline, thiadiazole, spiropyran, pyrene sulfonic acid, benzimidazole, diamino stilbene etc.
  • the fluorescent pigments there can be used organic or inorganic fluorescent pigments.
  • the organic pigments include those obtained by uniformly dissolving a dyestuff such as fluorescein, eosin, rhodamine 6G, rhodamine B or basic yellow HG in a resin such as polyvinyl chloride resin, alkyd resin, polymethacrylate ester resin, urea resin or melamine resin and then grinding it.
  • the inorganic fluorescent pigments include zinc sulfide activated with copper, silver, manganese etc.; zinc silicate activated with manganese etc.; zinc sulfide activated with silver, copper etc.; calcium sulfide activated with cadmium, bismuth etc.; strontium sulfide activated with samarium, cerium etc.; calcium tungstate activated with lead etc.; Sr 5 (PO 4 ) 3 Cl activated with europium etc.; Zn 2 GeO 2 activated with manganese etc.; Y 2 O 2 S activated with europium etc.; and Y 2 O 3 activated with europium.
  • sensitizers such as anthraquinone and acetophenone can be used in combination.
  • these fluorescent pigments are preferably those having an average particle diameter of 0.5 to 5 ⁇ m. If the average particle diameter is less than 0.5 ⁇ m, the intensity of fluorescence upon irradiation with ultraviolet rays may be weakened, while if the particle diameter exceeds 5 ⁇ m, the fluorescence emission of granules obtained through mixing, granulation and coating becomes easily uneven.
  • these fluorescent pigments can be used alone or in combination thereof.
  • the hue in fluorescence obtained by simultaneously using 2 or more fluorescent pigments indicates the so-called “additive color mixture”.
  • additive color mixture For example, when a pigment emitting red fluorescence and a pigment emitting purple fluorescence are used in combination, there occurs deep blue fluorescence, and similarly, green+red leads to yellow fluorescence, red+purple to crimson fluorescence, and red+green+purple to white fluorescence. This phenomenon is completely different from “subtractive color mixture” which is a phenomenon when paints are mixed. Since the fluorescent pigment unlike the fluorescent dyestuff is rich in the type of hue of fluorescence, there is the feature that a wide variety of fluorescence hues can be obtained by simultaneously using several kinds of fluorescent pigments.
  • the fluorescent particles are produced using a water-insoluble and organic solvent-soluble fluorescent dyestuff or fluorescent pigment as the fluorescent agent used in the present invention, the following special effect can be demonstrated.
  • These fluorescent particles are contained in paper followed by printing to produce anti-falsification printed matter, and when the printed indication on this printed matter is attempted to be falsified by using an organic solvent, the organic solvent-soluble fluorescent agent is eluted from the fluorescent particles, and its traces diffused therearound can be visually recognized by irradiation with ultraviolet rays. Accordingly, the presence of falsification can be reliably recognized.
  • the fluorescent agent insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvent e.g. amino ketone type dyestuffs can be preferably used.
  • the fluorescent particles should have water resistance so as not to collapse in water. This is because there are cases in which the fluorescent particles are added to a pulp slurry in the paper making step, in which the fluorescent particles are sprinkled onto a wet paper in the paper making step, or in which the fluorescent particles are added to a coating solution and then applied onto the surface of paper.
